The Henry County Weekly October 16, 1891
~John Rodgers, son of our worthy friend, Mr. Manson Rodgers, has been confined 
to his room with an attack of fever.

~Mrs. J. E. Rosser is still quite sick with fever, though we are pleased to 
state that a change for the better has occurred.

~Mr. M. C. Low and Col. Andrew Brown attended the silver wedding of Mr. and 
Mrs. Wm. Low, at Hapeville, this week.

~An eleven pound boy at the home of Marshal Johnson last Friday night causes 
him to be just a little more vigilant than ever.

~Col. Zachry was appointed on the committee from the Senate to attend the 
funeral of Senator O’Neal, at Bainbridge, last week.

~Prof. DuBose and Mr. Alonzo Cleveland attended the Presbyterian Sunday School 
Convention at Forsyth, last Friday, as delegates from this place.

~All guano notes made me are due on the 15th of October. Parties owing me are 
requested and expected to settle promptly. J. R. Pair, Flippen, Ga.

~Marshal Johnson has constructed a neat bridge over the Tomlinson Branch, 
which “fills a long felt want” from travelers who enter McDonough by that route.

~Our Mont. St. Jean correspondent informs us through his communication that 
affable gentleman, Mr. Rus Rowan will move his family to our city another year, 
having purchased Mr. Sam Tingle’s place on Hampton Street.

~Judge Glass, one of THE WEEKLY’S substantial friends from Tunis, paid us his 
respects a few days ago. The Judge is one of our oldest, most prompt and 
straightforward citizens. May he live many more years to enjoy his well spent 
life.

~Mr. H. B. Neal has accepted a lucrative position as traveling salesman for a 
large Atlanta guano firm, and will leave next week to enter upon his work. Ben 
is a mover and will make his house a good man. His family will remain in 
McDonough for the present.

~A little son of Mr. Sid Mays is certainly a prodigy when it comes to picking 
cotton. He is only five years of age and weighs but thirty seven pounds. This 
little “tot”, so we have been reliably informed, picked, in one day last week, 
on hundred and seven pounds of cotton.

~Col. T. H. Stallworth, of Sandy Ridge, dropped in a few days since and 
entertained a Weekly man with an interesting talk on public affairs. Uncle Tom 
is one of Henry’s most substantial pioneer citizens, who always has plenty 
around him, and gives valuable advice how to get along.
